The Creative Lab Five Program

As a Fiver you’ll work on projects big, small, and first of their kind within Google. You’ll be paired with a mentor, and work in collaboration with the other Fivers and your team.

Fivers are an essential part of the Creative Lab. It’s how a lot of our current leaders started.

But what is Google Creative Lab?

Google Creative Lab is a group of interdisciplinary thinkers and doers. We are designers, writers, business leaders, filmmakers, animators, producers, creative technologists, and much more. We are a small team that pushes for an impact that outweighs our footprint.

There are Creative Labs in NYC, London, and Sydney. We accept Fivers at each location.

Still have questions?

What kind of work will I be doing?

Depends on the day. You’ll be deeply immersed in the Creative Lab and you’ll have the chance to work on things that matter, big and small. Initiative always counts. If you have a great idea, it will be heard.

Is this an internship?

No. This is a paid externship and chance to do real work on actual projects that have an impact on Google and the world.

Where is it?

On site in either London, NYC, or Sydney. Five people per location.

When do we review submissions?

NYC, January through May.
London, December through April.
Sydney, October through January 6th.

When does it start?
